Information from the club:

QUOTE:

For anybody with club site vouchers with an expiry date December 2021- the expiry date has now been extended until March 2022.  

The site vouchers without a date printed on them have no expiry date.

Thanks Jill.

My initial thought was "Oh good, they’ve done the right thing". Then I saw it's only 3 months.

I suppose it's better than nothing but three months! Really! Surely the club can do better than that? 😫

In Winter as well with a reduced number of sites open. How mean spirited.

I’m glad I’m not alone in viewing it that way.

I trust the club will make a further extension if we experience lockdowns next year.

Perhaps they are trying to out do the commercial airlines /travel companies that give vouchers rather than give value?

Only 3 months extension - you have to be joking!

Personally I think the 'club' is being very generous in extending the expiry date by a further three months....Given an average site fee (Unit +2) of £25 pn....£2400 of site vouchers give you 24 weeks (96 nights) spent on our clubs network....albeit not affiliated sites ...who by the way are not passing on the VAT reduction, as does the 'club'..

From July 4 2020 to end of March 2022 gives a validity of 21 months...I for one will have used mine well within that time frame...unless of course we are locked down again either nationally or locally via the tier system...in which case I am sure the 'club' will extend the expiry date further ....

I wonder if the CMC decision to extend validity of the site vouchers is because of a concern that the early months of 2021 could still be problematic? They no doubt  feel the extra period would help if that were be the case. If next year things return to near normal would there be no need to extend any longer but heaven forbid things are still bad into next year the Club can always extend again if that was felt to be appropriate.

'Spanish flu' was around for a couple of years and in 4 waves & I can't see C-19 being much different.

If they need to extend the expiry date of the site vouchers again next year because of lockdowns, it may well be the case that they will also need to issue further vouchers to assist cash flow. If that is the case, lets hope that they will return to issuing the vouchers without an expiry date, then there would be no problem of having to extend any dates.
